KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cleveland

  • Renting a car in Cleveland, Georgia, much like in many other regions, comes with tons of benefits that come with convenience. Unlike public transportation, which works with fixed schedules, using a rental car to drive around Cleveland grants you the flexibility and freedom to explore various places at your own pace and time. With car rentals in Cleveland, you can easily travel to nearby towns like Dahlonega and visit natural attractions in Cleveland, including the twin waterfalls at Anna Ruby Falls, deep canyons and hiking trails in Tallulah Gorge State Park, and mountain views at Brasstown Bald, which are not accessible via public transport.
  • Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is Cleveland’s primary airport. When flying into ATL, you can rent a car at one of the car rental counters in Cleveland at the Rental Car Center (RCC). You can access the RCC from both terminals via the ATL SkyTrain within 5 minutes. You will use the service road if you prefer to reach the RCC by vehicle. The on-site Cleveland car rentals agencies at ATL include SIXT, Dollar, Hertz, Alamo, Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Payless, National, Advantage, and Thrifty. The pick-up and drop-off locations for the rental cars in Cleveland are at the Rental Car Center.
  • Many roads in Cleveland have narrow lanes or are winding roads, which may be challenging if you're driving in the city for the first time. Ensure you drive at low speed in such areas, prepared for sudden road turns. Since Cleveland is covered in natural beauty, including forested areas, be alert when driving in the dark as wild animals like deer may cross the road suddenly. In Cleveland, pedestrians have the right of way. However, while the city is less crowded, keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially downtown.
  • Driving in Cleveland, Georgia, is generally smooth. However, you might encounter potential challenges at certain times of the day. Expect heavy traffic during the morning, around 7 am to 9 am, and again in the evening, around 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, particularly on major routes like State Route 11 and US Route 129 bypass. Additionally, the city experiences increased tourist traffic near popular attractions during peak tourist seasons. Avoid driving around Cleveland during peak hours or use bicycles instead for easy navigation of the city.

Very friendly staff. The car I had got excellent gas mileage and I had no problems. I had paid for SiriusXM, but not able to get it to work. I should have asked more questions when picking up car. But, overall, great experience.

Would have preferred the Tahoe that I had reserved. The Tahoe had some issues and wasn’t available. The second option was the Expedition but it had 2 different tread tires on it which would ride uncomfortably on our trip. I had to go with the 3rd option which was an Infinity GQ 80 which was an excellent riding vehicle but lacked the cargo space for our luggage that would have been available in the 1st and 2nd options.

My experience with Avis was absolutely horrible. I made the reservation and when I went to pick the car up, there was no car to be picked up. So then I called another location and made another reservation, once I got to that location, I was told no rentals available. Well y'all have several vehicles listed online that are ready for rental. I don't know what is going on but somebody needs to do their job and update if any vehicles are available or not. This was an absolute waste of time. Huge inconvenience and I will definitely let others know not to rent a vehicle from this company

First the positive their staff was very good, in particular what they had to work with. They DID NOT have what I had reserved, I had a conformed order for an SUV and ended up with a Tesla. Which was their last car so I had no choice. The car was not HERTZ QUALITY. While I never rented from rent a wreck this car might quality-scratches, wheel rash, front end looked bad. Again the staff was good including when I returned

Pros:

Didn't have to deal with going inside to drop off vehicle on Sunday

Cons:

The interior of the building is filthy, rodent traps and dirt everywhere. Employees taking zero covid precautions, no masks, no distancing. I prepaid an 8 day rental months in advance but since my card had been updated in the meantime they couldn't just use the new one for incidentals. The emploees at the store couldn't make any changes so they told me to call hertz customer service and just have the card changed on the reservation. The first call I made, they said the reservation had to be canceled and refunded, and a new reservation had to be made but the rate would go up and they couldn't guarantee the vehicle would be available (?!?!?!). Three calls later and an hour later it was straightened out. No one was even slightly apologetic. I asked what cleaning or sanitation was being done to the vehicles because of covid. He said "They gave us some spray stuff to use". The car was absolutely not cleaned, it had dirt on the back sear and someones used chapstick in the center console. I will NEVER rent from Hertz again. No wonder they're going bankrupt.

Reserved SUV was not available. I was placed in a Electric car that was the worst road trip ever, having to follow a route that has chargers along it. Was like driving a golf cart for 12 hours. Was told that the vehicle was the only option available. Staff was very nice but I really feel like there should have been a different option maybe pull a suv from another location? No refund given for not honoring my reservation choice! If this ever happens again I will just take my business elsewhere.
